BOSTON -- David Ortiz inched closer to the 500-home run club with his 495th career homer and Mookie Betts added a two-run blast as the Boston Red Sox squeaked out a 4-3 win over the rival New York Yankees in the opener of a three-game series Monday evening at Fenway Park.

Yankees shortstop Didi Gregorius was 4-for-5, and he flied out to the warning track in right with the bases loaded for the final out of the game, barely missing a grand slam.
